THE WORK
As a Senior Software Developer, you will build and own the platform powering financial clarity for businesses from SMEs to Fortune 500 enterprises. You will own full-stack feature delivery across front-end, server-side, and database tiers — leveraging Azure to craft scalable, resilient cloud solutions at the core of a fast-growing SaaS product. You will shape technical direction and mentor fellow engineers within a you-build-it-you-run-it team that holds itself to the highest standards. If you are energized by complex distributed systems and want to make a measurable impact on how the world manages its finances, this is the opportunity for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Partner with architects and product managers to design, estimate, and deliver cutting-edge features across the full stack — front-end, server-side, and database tiers
• Leverage Azure services to build powerful, scalable, and resilient cloud-native solutions
• Improve software applications and own delivery pipelines and feature flags, ensuring seamless integration and deployment
• Drive rigorous unit, integration, and non-functional testing — including performance and security — to guarantee production-ready software
• Use observability tools and logging to diagnose and resolve issues across development, test, and production environments
• Stay ahead of tech trends, engage with the broader tech community, mentor fellow engineers, and lead technical design and code reviews
• Continuously improve team operations, processes, methodologies, and technology choices, holding every practice to a high standard
• Ensure all work meets quality, operational, and architectural standards, contributing to the organization's broader success
• Embrace the team's YBIYRI (you-build-it-you-run-it) model, including active participation in the on-call pager rotation
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or relevant equivalent experience, with at least 5 years of application development experience
• Experienced and proficient in application development guidelines, cloud architecture, and deployment
• Deep expertise in ASP.NET/Core and C#, with advanced knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server
